Ok I will start with this: I will gladly revisit this place on a daily basis for their price and food quality and speedy service, especially if there is one near my work! They have seatings but we are just getting to go home. They are conveniently located on State Street not too far from the magnificent miles next to a couple good cafe/chocolate place, so to me this is happy land! We got the white rice base, bulgogi beef as protein, and all veggies plus the free seaweed. We got that ginger sauce. Their generous portion is sufficient for two person and their food is super fresh. We went at like 2 pm and still lots of random customers like us, so it will be a reflection on how their food is solid! read more

We were fortunate enough to have this place across the street from our hotel. We needed something convenient and since we saw this place and were curious about it, we decided to order online. It was easy to place an order for 7 people. They are reasonably priced and worth every penny. The portions were large enough to split it with two people if you don't have a big appetite. It seemed like a small dine-in place with plenty of lighting coming in. We decided to grab the food to go to enjoy in the comfort of our hotel room. I wish they had one closer to home for me, which is Bay Area, California. Us Californians love our bowls and Korean food. Looking forward to having this again one day. I got the fireball for myself and my sister to share and it filled us both up! The flavors were so comforting and kicking at the same time with the spices. Yum. read more

Seoul Spice - Fireball - Korean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Seoul Train has a kick but not very spicy. It bursts with flavor and has different textures. I loved it that I went twice on two different days. Service was great. On the two times I was here, the staff had been very nice and friendly. The place has limited seating. It only has 4 chairs in total with tables/ledge inside that are facing the street. Nevertheless, would recommend! read more

Dropped in for lunch... Seo seo good! Food - 5/5 I got the Seoul Train and everything about it was perfect. It was full of flavour, yet healthy, had a kick, but wasn't too spicy, and the glass noodles were a perfect touch to blend everything together. I wasn't expecting it to be so good.. it was really good, yet simple at the same time. I also got some peach Korean soda and my god that was amazing I want another one right now lol. Ambiance - 5/5 - A nice casual vibe, but still with a nice Korean, hip touch. Service - 5/5 - All friendly people and efficient! read more

First time trying Seoul Spice and was pretty impressed. The food was fresh, flavorful, and affordable. We tried: - Fireball - Classic (no heat) I like spice and would say fireball was pleasant without being overly hot. The pork was cooked very well, overall great experience. read more

I honestly did not have high expectations coming here but I was pleasantly surprised! The food is so fresh and the protein is well seasoned. The bowls are amazingly portioned and I love how much you can customize your own or pick from their signature bowls. It's definitely not the most authentic or best Korean food you can have in the city. But if you're looking for a Chipotle-like build your own bowl with Korean flavors, this is definitely the place! read more

Very good korean bowl with nice flavors and fresh ingredients...Its on the pricey side for what you get and for this I had to deduct a star but other wise it's a great Koream beff bulgogi bowl with a nice little sit down area in front window for eating. ..but zero bathroom. read more

I was really excited to hear about a new Korean spot opening in the neighborhood. I wouldn't say the food is 100% authentic but still really tasty. They were out of a couple mains when I went at 8pm but staff did their best to accommodate. That being said, I really liked the bulgogi with sesamiso sauce. Inside was cute but not much seating. read more

Came here on grand opening day!! This's their second location in Chicago, it's almost like chipotle but with Korean food! This place is gluten- free!!!! You can customize your own bowl by choosing purple rice, white rice, glass noodles, veggies, mixed greens or 1/2 and 1/2! You can then pick your own meat, toppings, sauces, and seasonings to go on top!! The Korean "drug" egg is a must !! We had the one on Michigan Ave a couple times, and we really like it!!!so I had to come to this one for their grand opening. They also have some Korean drinks you can purchase as well as some merch!! All the staffs are very friendly and helpful. Definitely a great lunch spot if you work near by or just want to grab something quick! read more

Checked out Seoul Spice on grand opening day around 3pm. Loved learning the story behind the business and was super excited to try out their menu. While the line was long, it moved pretty quickly and the staff was doing a great job filling orders. On grand opening day all bowls were $5 which is a great deal, compared to regular menu prices around $14. My husband and I each got 2 bowls so we could try a variety of items: 1. Seoul Train 2. Southwest 3. Fireball 4. BYO- 1/2 purple rice, 1/2 glass noodle, bulgogi, all veggies (exc. carrots), creamy sriracha & cilantro-lime ranch, all the toppings Our favorites were the Seoul Train and Fireball! They were packed with flavor and super tasty. The space is small and don't believe they have space to dine in, so this location may be a takeout only. We'll definitely be back to try more bowls and can't wait for their next location to open in Wicker Park, hopefully by year end! read more

So many people have been complimenting Seoul Spice that I wanted to give it another try - and this time at the longer-established location. I had the same bland experience as a vegetarian - maybe it's their proteins that are seasoned. Their sauces could certainly take more flavor, given their name claims to add "spice" to the food. read more

Delicious food, friendly and fast service, reasonably priced, clean and cute interior. Love the traditional Korean flavors with some modern twists. There's no seating at all inside though, so you'll have to take your food to-go. Highly recommend the "Seoul Train" bowl - it has all the Korean flavors I was craving but with a twist, like the kale slaw instead of spinach, crispy garlic, and creamy sriracha sauce. read more

Ahh! This used to be Duxiana. Remember that? This is the second location here. We reviewed the first location downtown (see our review). I had the Seoul Train bowl. The staff and service are seoulful. PS. I was the first one to review. read more

visited chicago for a weekend trip and was looking for a healthy + convenient option. when i learned it was build your own bowl, our group was convinced and we dined in at night. not only is the bowl fully customizable, but they're also very generous with portions! for the price paid, i felt it was very much worth it. on top of all of that, food tasted great. workers were friendly + welcoming and location is accessible. i will say indoor seating could be limited if busy (4 seats). overall recommend this place and would go again! read more

Im a huge lover of Korean food. This place has very fresh ingredients, great flavor, reasonable prices and great customer service! Loved it!

Discovered this place on Doordash and was impressive by the flavor. Finally a healthy Asian takeout option that tastes decently authentic.

The food and the service was absolutely amazing. The manager always has the place moving and grooving. And the staff is always nice. And the place is always clean . read more

Very clean space, with pleasant energetic staff. It's their grand opening day so there were lots of eager customers here for the promotion - so they did have a little wait as they cooked fresh beef for the bowls. Miracle at the front had great positivity, managing the crowds - always with a smile on which I'm sure was an exhausting first day! Plan on getting 2 beef and 2 chicken bowls. read more

Gluten free which is great for a Celiac. Clean ingredients, quick and easy. Miracle was very nice as well.

Went in about 40 minutes ago. My first time here. The staff was so friendly. The space was clean, and the food is amazing. I would select "Infiniti" for the number of stars, but yelp doesn't allow that (yet). read more
